Sony Handycam HDR-TG7VE Technology Digital Camcorder
December 31, 2009 | Digital Camcorder, Sony | 1 CommentThis model is almost the same size as the TG3, similar in size to a small electric razor, but packs even more inside. In addition to offering 16 GB of memory card, where the TG3 had none, the TG7VE a GPS receiver board. However, the basic specifications are the same as before. Both are built around a 1/5in ClearVid CMOS sensor with Exmor technology from Sony.
This places the table sensor wiring behind the pixels, the light is no longer allowed for greater sensitivity in low light. We generally found that technology effectively. The sensor has the same 2.36 megapixel gross, and both use the Sony BIONZ image processor. So overall the picture quality should be almost identical between the two models. The TG7VE can shoot up to full HD, with a data rate of 16Mbits/sec. This allows a little more than two hours of video stored on the internal memory of 16 GB, and you can increase this with removable Flash. Unsurprisingly, it will be in the form of ownership of Sony Memory Stick PRO Duo format, which is usually a little more expensive than SD. The TG7VE can also take still images up to 2304 x 1728, which is still the same as the GT3, and requires a certain amount of interpolation.
As mentioned previously, the TG7VE (and TG3) differ from camcorders Pocket Internet by offering many more features of the camcorder. The most immediate benefit of these is the true 10x optical zoom, rather than relying on the value diversity undermines digital. The zoom is operated through a ring at the rear of the unit, which is easier to use with your thumb. A large button in the center of the ring controls the start and stop recording. A small button skips separate still images, although these will be limited to 2.3 megapixels if you’re already shooting video at the time, and flash is not activated. [via trustedreviews]
